FormscanBy Tom Weekes - A DIFFERENT WORLD was all-out to win his Sligo handicap hurdle last month but should be competitive from just 4bs higher. A point-to-point winner on debut in April 2019, he remains open to some more improvement and is ideally suited by trip and today's sound surface. Nicole's Milan, in contrast, has shown his best form on testing ground which is a concern today, despite havng good recent form. Bumper winner Frazel Express is winless in 14 hurdles but ran well in a similar race recently. Sage Aravis is winless in 11 starts but has been running well recently while Crobally Boy is interesting reverting to handicap hurdles in a tongue-tie having run well in two recent maiden point-to-points. Miss U O was beaten 0.5L by the selection at Sligo and while she previously appeared a little exposed, is a point-to-point winner who has place claims. Tullyhogue Fort was well held on his latest Gowran run.
